Full textIn order to demonstrate the ability of microbubble flotation to superclean coal to ash levels of less than 2%, several Eastern U. S. coals have been tested. The results show that the process is capable of producing superclean coal with improved recovery as compared to the conventional flotation process.
To further improve and understand the microbubble flotation process, electrokinetic studies of the hydrocarbon oils used in flotation as collectors have been conducted. Also, the effect of oil emulsifiers on the zeta potential of oil droplets has been studied. In general, oil droplets are negatively charged and negative zeta potential is reduced with the addition of nonionic and cationic surfactants. On the other hand, the negative charge is increased with the addition of an anionic reagent. It has also been shown that the negative zeta potential of oil droplets increases with increasing hydrocarbon chain length.
The effects of different collectors on induction time and flotation have been determined by conducting microflotation and induction time experiments using an Elkhorn seam coal sample. The results show that industrial oils combined with the coal have the shortest induction times and, therefore, the highest flotation yields as compared to pure hydrocarbon oils. It has also been shown that oil emulsifiers tend to increase flotation yield and reduce particle/bubble induction time.

Full textThis work describes the phytochemical investigation of Hamelia patens (Rubiaceae) native from Guaramiranga montain, CearÃ, Brazil. Sucessive chromatographic treatment of the ethanol extract of leaves led to the isolation of the pentaciclic oxindole alkaloids pteropodine, isopteropodine, palmirine, and the new isopalmirine, besides the flavonoid kaempferol l-3-α-O-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-6)-β-D-galactopyranoside. The study of the ethanol extract of the stems led to the isolation of the steroids β-sitosterol and stigmasterol as mixture, stigmast-4-en-3,6-dione, and the triterpene ursolic acid. The ethanol extract of the trunk yielded vanillic acid and the β-sitosterol and stigmasterol glucosilated. The isolation of the chemical constituents were performed by the use of chromatographic techniques, including flash cromatography, thin layer crohromatography, preparative crhomatography, and preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The strucutral charactherization were performed by the use of infrared, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, including one (1H NMR, 13C NMR and DEPT 135) and two-bidimensional pulse sequences (HMBC, HSQC, COSY e NOESY), and comparison with literature data.

Full textIn collaboration with the University of Athens, the chemical study on the anaspidean mollusc Aplysia fasciata was carried out. From its digestive and hermaphroditic glands 16 metabolites were isolated by a combination of chromatographic techniques, and they were identified by spectroscopic analysis. Six of them (6-hydroxy-1-brasilene, epibrasilenol acetate, (3Z,9Z)-7-chloro-6-hydroxy-12-oxopentadeca-3,9-dien-1-yne, 6-epi-beta-snyderol, 16-acetoxy-15-bromo-7-hydroxy-9(11)-parguerene), belonging to different classes of sesquiterpene, acetogenin and diterpene compounds, are new and related with metabolites isolated from different species of the red alga Laurencia, the animal's diet.
In the Istituto di Chimica Biomolecolare (Italy), the chemical and biological investigation on the Chinese soft coral Sinularia sp. was performed. We isolated four new casbene compounds, i.e. bicyclic diterpenes characterized by a cyclopropane fused with a 14-membered macrocycle, which are usually found in Euphorbiaceae plants and rarely in marine organisms. Contrastingly to most natural cis ring-fused casbenes, in Sinularia co-existed cis and trans compounds and this suggested a non-stereospecific biosynthetic mechanism. The 4 casbenes were active against Gram+ bacteria and just casbene 3 also against Gram- bacteria, only hydroxylated casbenes displayed anti-feeding properties, and they did not exhibit antiproliferative activity.

TEXTO:
El objetivo de esta Tesis es el estudio de los productos naturales marinos y su posible relevancia en el desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos. La investigación se enfocó sobre los organismos bentónicos, i.e. los que viven en contacto con el fondo marino y que, a pesar de la falta de protección física y la escasa movilidad de la mayoría de las especies, han desarrollado mecanismos de defensa alternativos, como la producción de armas químicas. Estos compuestos, dotados de propiedades ecológicas, a menudo exhiben también importantes actividades farmacológicas. Se consideraron organismos pertenecientes a diferentes phyla (algas, moluscos y cnidarios) y áreas geográficas. Las diatomeas Cocconeis scutellum afectan la reversión sexual del decápodo proterándrico Hippolyte inermis, induciendo apoptosis (muerte celular programada) en la glándula androgénica del crustáceo. En esta Tesis evaluamos también la capacidad de dichas diatomeas en afectar el cambio de sexo de otros crustáceos, en particular los de interés comercial, y de actuar sobre las células tumorales humanas, a fin de encontrar posibles aplicaciones en acuicultura y medicina. También se valoró el patrón metabólico de las diatomeas mediante cromatografía de gases/espectrometría de masas, identificando más de 100 compuestos (ácidos grasos, esteroles y glicéridos), no constatándose la presencia de aldéhidos de cadena corta.
En la Universidad de Atenas, se realizó el estudio químico del molusco anaspídeo Aplysia fasciata. Mediante diferentes técnicas cromatográficas y espectroscópicas, se aislaron 16 metabolitos, de los cuales seis eran nuevos (6-hidroxi-1-brasileno, epibrasilenol acetato, (3Z,9Z)-7-cloro-6-hidroxi-12-oxopentadeca-3,9-dien-1-ino, 6-epi-beta-snyderol, 16-acetoxi-15-bromo-7-hidroxi-9(11)-parguereno), relacionados con metabolitos de algas rojas del género Laurencia, que constituyen la dieta del animal.
En el Instituto de Química Biomolecular (Pozzuoli, Italia) se realizó tanto el estudio químico como los experimentos biológicos con el coral blando Sinularia sp. procedente de China. De esta especie se aislaron 4 nuevos compuestos casbénicos (diterpenos bicíclicos formados por un anillo ciclopropánico fusionado a un macrociclo de 14 átomos) cuya estructura es frecuente en plantas de la familia Euphorbiaceae y bastante más rara en los organismos marinos. Los casbenos hidroxilados eran repelentes alimenticios; todos son activos frente a las bacterias Gram+ y sólo el casbeno 3 es también activo frente a las bacterias Gram- .

Electrodeposition is a fascinating electrochemical phenomenon that contains deep physical insights and has broad practical applications. At the heart of the physics governing electrodeposition is a competition between a destabilizing force caused by surface crests growing more rapidly than surface troughs in a positive feedback loop and a stabilizing force arising from surface energy effects that prevent the surface from roughening excessively. The physical manifestation of this surface instability is the formation and propagation of dendrites. Some applications of electrodeposition include electroplating of metals such as copper and charging of next-generation high-energy-density metal batteries such as lithium metal batteries. From both theoretical and practical standpoints, it is important to understand how to control and exploit electrode-position.
In this thesis, we explore electrodeposition in a homogenized charged porous medium that contains a fixed background charge density, which affords us a new knob for controlling electrodeposition. In practice, such a background charge density can either naturally arise from ionization of surface functional groups or be generated through experimental techniques such as layer-by-layer deposition of polyelectrolytes on the pore surfaces. We investigate the theoretical aspects of electrodeposition in charged porous media in three different ways. First, we introduce a simple transport model that accounts for the background charge density and couple it with electrochemical reaction kinetics for electrodeposition. We then validate the coupled model by comparing predicted steady state current-voltage relations and linear sweep voltammetry with experimental data for copper electrodeposition in a variety of nanoporous media.
Second, we perform linear stability analysis on the model to understand how key system parameters such as the background charge density affect the linear stability of the metal surface. We then show good agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental observations of the critical and instability wavelengths for copper electrodeposition in cellulose nitrate membranes. Third, we carry out impedance analysis on the model and explain some intriguing features in the experimental impedance spectra for copper electrodeposition in anodic aluminum oxide membranes. Through these three different types of analysis, we demonstrate the predictive power and robustness of the theory despite its simplicity

Full textThe general subject of this thesis is oxidative dissolution of UO2. The dissolution of UO2 is mainly investigated because of the importance of the UO2 matrix of spent nuclear fuel as a barrier against radionuclide release in a future deep repository. U(IV) is extremely insoluble under the reducing conditions prevalent in a deep repository, whereas U(VI) is more soluble. Hence, oxidation of the UO2-matrix will affect its solubility and thereby its function as a barrier. In this thesis the relative efficiency of one- and two electron oxidants in dissolving UO2 is studied. The oxidative dissolution yield of UO2 was found to differ between one- and two-electron oxidants. At low oxidant concentrations the dissolution yields for one-electron oxidants are significantly lower than for two-electron oxidants. However, the dissolution yield for one-electron oxidants increases with increasing oxidant concentration, which could be rationalized by the increased probability for two consecutive one-electron oxidations at the same site and the increased possibility for disproportionation. Furthermore, the relative impact of radical and molecular radiolysis products on oxidative dissolution of UO2 is investigated. Experiments were performed where the amount of dissolved U(VI) was measured in γ-irradiated systems dominated by different oxidants. We have found that the UO2 dissolution rate in systems exposed to γ-irradiation can be estimated from oxidant concentrations derived from simulations of radiolysis in the corresponding homogeneous systems and rate constants for the surface reactions. These simulations show that for all systems studied in this work, the molecular oxidants will be the most important oxidants for long irradiation times (>10 hours). Similar simulations of α-irradiated systems show that in systems relevant for a deep repository for spent nuclear fuel, only the molecular oxidants (mainly H2O2) are of importance for the dissolution of the fuel matrix. The effect on UO2 reactivity by irradiation of the material is of importance when predicting the spent fuel dissolution rate since the fuel, due to its content of radionuclides, is exposed to continuous self-irradiation. The effect of irradiation on the reaction between solid UO2 and MnO4- in aqueous solutions was studied. It was found that irradiation of UO2 at doses >40 kGy increases the reactivity of the material up to ~1.3 times the reactivity of unirradiated UO2. The increased reactivity remains after the irradiation and can possibly be attributed to permanent changes in the material. This issue must be taken into account when predicting the reactivity of spent nuclear fuel since the fuel is exposed to doses >40 kGy after only a few days in the reactor. It has earlier been suggested that the rate of a heterogeneous liquid-solid reaction depends on the size of the solid particles. This was investigated for UO2 particles in this thesis. Experimental kinetic parameters are compared to the previously proposed equations for UO2 powder of four size fractions and a UO2 pellet. We have found that the particle size dependence of the second order rate constant and activation energy for oxidation of UO2 by MnO4- is described quite well by the proposed equations.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Ferrohydrostatic separation (FHS) of materials is a float and sink technique which utilizes ferrofluid exposed to a non-homogeneous magnetic field. The efficiency of material separation depends on numerous variables. The most important variables, which were investigated individually, are the effects of moisture content, ferrofluid level, feedrate, particle size and material density distribution on separation efficiency. It is important to recover and recycle the ferrofluid attached to the products of separation so as to reduce the cost of the FHS technology and the amount of kerosene disposed of to the environment. This prompted research into some of the factors affecting ferrofluid recovery. The factors that were investigated are the effects ofFHS operation, material moisture content, particle size and porosity. The separation efficiency was found to be dependent on all the variables investigated. The effect of material moisture content is less pronounced for particles larger than 2.8 mm. This implies that wet feed material should be screened before ferrohydrostatic separation and material which particle size is less than 2.8 mm should preferably be treated dry. Wet material (less than 2.8 mm) floats, even though its density is greater than the cut-point density. This is owing to the immiscibility of the water coating the particles and the kerosene-based ferrofluid used for separation. It was found that the effect of ferrofluid level on separation efficiency is a function of both the density difference of the particles to be separated and the particle size. Separation efficiency as a function of ferrofluid level is poor for particles larger than 2 mm and is good when the density difference of the material to be separated is high, for instance between 2700 kg/nr' and 3530 kg/nr'. This shows that for efficient separation of coarse particles and near density material (material with density close to the cut-point density), the ferrofluid level should be controlled, preferably close to the maximum possible level. The effect of feedrate on separation efficiency is also a function of the densities of the particles to be separated. An increase in feedrate leads to poor separation for particles with densities close t~ each other. This implies that separation of near density material requires accurate feedrate control. It has been shown from simulation and modelling that the effective cutpoint density changes as the particle moves through the chamber until it eventually reaches its terminal velocity, given that the chamber is of sufficient size for this to occur. The effective cut-point density increases to the maximum as the particle enters the ferrofluid pool but settles down to a relative constant once the particle has reached its terminal velocity. The effective cut-point density was shown to decrease with an increase in particle magnetisation. It was found that this decrease in the cut-point density determines the density difference (difference between two particles) achievable when non-magnetic material is treated together with magnetic material. It is therefore important to magnetically scalp the feed material for efficient separation. When the material is not scalped, magnetic and nonmagnetic material with the same density might report to different density fractions, which leads to poor separation. This magnetic contribution to the effective density can be utilised in the separation of material with same density but different magnetisation. The efficiency offerrofluid recovery was found to be dependent on all the variables investigated. The amount of ferrofluid drawn from the FHS separator was found to decrease with an increase in the magnetic field. Furthermore, the amount of ferrofluid that remains attached to the particles after allowing ferrofluid to drain from the material is the same as that attached to the FHS products of separation at high magnetic fields. This shows that it is important to operate the ferrohydrostatic separator at high magnetic fields in order to attract most of the ferrofluid back to the separator. T-heamount of ferrofluid adsorbed onto and absorbed by the particles was found to decrease with an increase in the material moisture content. This is due to two factors. The first is that water occupies the vacant pores in the material. The second is that water forms a layer on the particle surface which is immiscible with kerosene-based ferrofluid. This phenomenon leads to a reduction in cost of the ferrohydrostatic separation technology when wet material as opposed to dry material is treated. As already described coarse material larger than 2.8 mm can be treated wet without detrimental effects on separation. For -8+4 mm particles, the ferrofluid loss ranges from 0.6 down to 0.14 kg/tonne of feed for 0 to 10 % material moisture content respectively. The amount of ferrofluid lost per tonne of feed was found to range from 0.73 to 0.56 kg for-O.85+O.5 mm to -12+8 mm particle sizes respectively. The increase in ferrofluid loss in small particles is due to the increase in surface area in small particles for ferrofluid adsorption. The increase in porosity increases the amount of ferrofluid lost due to the difficulties in recovering ferrofluid embedded in the pores of the particles. Adding water to coarse material lowers the amount of ferrofluid lost by reducing porosity. Modelling the amount of ferrofluid lost, as a function of particle size and porosity, would assist in determining the amount of ferrofluid required to treat a known amount of material. The quality of ferrofluid recovered was found to be the same as that initially used for material separation. This implies that the separation efficiency would not be affected by the use of recycled ferrofluid.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ferro-hidrostatiese skeiding van materiale is 'n flotasie (dryf) en besinkingstegniek wat gebruik maak van ferro-vloeistof wat blootgestel is aan 'n magnetiese veld. Die effektiwiteit van die materiaal skeiding is afhanklik van verskeie veranderlikes. Die belangrikste veranderlikes wat die skeidingseffektiwiteit beïnvloed is individueel bestudeer, naamlik voginhoud, ferro-vloeistof vlak, voertempo, partikelgrootte en materiaal digtheid verspreiding. Dit is belangrik om die ferro-vloeistof te herwin en te hergebruik om die koste van die proses en tegnologie te verminder en dus ook die hoeveelheid keroseen wat aan die omgewing blootgestel is. Dit het navorsing tot gevolg gehad oor die faktore wat ferro-vloeistofherwinning beïnvloed. Hierdie.faktore wat ondersoek is in hierdie studie is materiaal voginhoud, partikelgrootte en porositeit. Die skeidingseffektiwiteit was afhanklik van al die faktore wat ondersoek is. Die effek van materiaal voginhoud was minder beduidend vir partikels groter as 2.8 mm. Dit wys dat nat voermateriaal moet gesif word voor ferro-hidrostatiese skeiding, en materiaal met 'n partikelgrootte kleiner as 2.8 mm moet verkieslik gedroog word. Nat materiaal (minder as 2.8 mm) floteer selfs as die digtheid groter is as die snypunt digtheid. Dit is as gevolg van ondeurlaatbaarheid van die water wat die partikels bedek en die keroseen basis ferro-vloeistofwat gebruik word vir die skeiding. Dit is gevind dat die invloed op die skeidingseffektiwiteit van die ferrovloeistof vlak is 'n funksie van beide die digtheid van die partikels wat geskei word. Die partikelgrootte skeidingseffektiwiteit as 'n funksie van die ferro-vloeistof vlak, is swak vir partikels groter as 2 mm en is goed wanneer die digtheid verskil van die materiaal wat geskei moet word, hoog is, byvoorbeeld 2 700 kg/nr' en 3 530 kg/nr'. Dit wys dat vir die effektiewe skeidings vir groter partikels en naby digtheid materiaal (materiaal net 'n digtheid nabyaan die snypunt digtheid), moet die ferro- . vloeistofvlak baie goed beheer word, gewoonlik naby die maksimum vlak moontlik. Die effek van voertempo op die effektitiwiteit van skeiding is ook 'n funksie van die digtheid van die partikels wat geskei moet word. 'n Toename in die vloeitempo lei tot 'n swak skeiding van partikels met digthede wat naby mekaar lê. Dit wys weer daarop dat die skeiding van naby digtheid materiaal het die akkurate beheer van voertempo tot gevolg. Dit is gevind deur simulasie en modulering dat die effektiewe snypuntdigtheid verander soos die partikel deur die kamer beweeg totdat dit uiteindelik sy finale snelheid bereik (gegee dat die kamer groot genoeg is). Dit effektiewe snypunt digtheid verhoog tot 'n maksimum wanneer die partikel die ferro-vloeistof binne gaan, maar bereik na 'n kort tydperk 'n kostante waarde sodra die partikel sy finale snelheid bereik het. Die effektiewe snypunt digtheid verlaag met 'n toename in partikel magnetisme. Dit is gevind dat die afname in die snypunt digtheid bepaal die digtheidsverskil (verskil tussen twee partikels) wat bereikbaar is wanneer nie-magnetiese materiaal saam met magnetiese materiaal behandel word. Dit is dus belangrik om die voer materiaal magneties te skalpeer vir effektiewe skeiding. Wanneer die materiaal so behandel word, sal magnetiese en nie-magnetiese materiaal, met die dieselfde digthede, rapporteer in verskillende digtheidsfraksies wat sal lei tot swak skeiding. Die magnetiese bydrae tot die effektiewe digtheid kan gebruik word in die skeiding van materiaal met dieselfde digtheid, maar met verskillende magnetismes. Die effektiwiteit van ferro-vloeistof herwinning is afhanklik van al die veranderlikes wat ondersoek is. Die hoeveelheid ferro-vloeistof wat omtrek is van die ferro-hidrostatiese skeier verminder met 'n toename in die magnetiese veld. Verder is die ferro-vloeistof wat agterbly as gevolg van die feit dat hulle vas is aan die partikels na dreinering, dieselfde as die hoeveelheid wat vasgeheg is aan die die ferro-hidrostatisiese produkte van skeiding by hoë magnetiese velde. Dus is dit belangrik om die ferrohidrostatiese skeier te bedryf by hoë magnetiese velde om sodoende die meerderheid van die ferro-vloeistof in die skeier agter te laat bly. Die hoeveelheid ferro-vloeistof geadsorbeer aan en geabsorbeer deur die partikels verlaag met 'n toename in die materiaal voginhoud. Dit is gevolg van twee redes, nl. eerstens water wat die plek inneem van die oop porieë in die materiaal, en tweede is die feit dat water 'n lagie op die partikeloppervlakte vorm wat ondeurlaatbaar is vir keroseen-basis ferrovloeistof Dit lei tot die vermindering in koste van die ferro-hidrostatiese skeidingstegnologie wanneer nat materiaal in plaas van droë materiaal gebruik word. Soos alreeds genoem, partikels groter as 2.8 mm kan nat behandel word sonder enige negatiewe effekte op die skeiding. Vir -8+4 mm partikels is daar 'n ferro-vloeistofverlies van 0.6 tot 0.14 kg/ton voer vir' n 0-10% voginhoud. Die hoeveelheid ferro-vloeistof per ton voer materiaal wat verlore gaan wissel tussen 0.73 tot 0.56 kg vir -0.85+0.5 mm tot -12+8 mm partikelgroottes, respektiewelik. Die toename in ferro-vloeistofverlies by kleiner partikels is as gevolg van die toename in die oppervlakarea van kleinpartikels vir ferro-vloeistof adsorpsie. Daar is 'n toename in porositeit wat gepaard gaan met 'n toename in hoeveelheid in ferro-vloeistof wat verlore gaan as gevolg van probleme met die herwinning van ferro-vloeistof wat binne-in partikelporieë vasgevang IS. Die byvoeging van water by groter materiaal verlaag die hoeveelheid . ferro-vloeistofwat verlore gaan as gevolg van verminderde porositeit. Die modellering van die hoeveelheid ferro-vloeistof wat verlore gaan, as 'n funksie van die partikelgrootte en porositeit, sal help met die skatting van die hoeveelheid ferro-vloeistof benodig om 'n sekere hoeveelheid materiaal te behandel. Dit is gevind dat die kwaliteit van die ferro-vloeistof wat herwin word dieselfde is as die wat aanvanklik gebruik is vir die materiaal skeiding. Dit wys dat die skeidingseffektiwiteit beïnvloed nie die gebruik van gehersirkuleerde ferro-vloeistof nie.

Full textA cinética da carbocloração do pentóxido de vanádio (V2O5) puro, pelo tratamento com gás cloro, de misturas sob a forma de pó, não-compactadas, de V2O5 e grafite (agente redutor), foi investigada, com o emprego do método termogravimétrico, no intervalo de 350 a 550°C, sendo estudada a influência, sobre a velocidade de reação, das seguintes variáveis: temperatura de cloração, percentagem de agente redutor na amostra inicial e pressão parcial do cloro. Na avaliação do efeito da temperatura de cloração sobre a cinética da reação, o Modelo do Núcleo Não Reagido foi utilizado para interpretar os resultados experimentais obtidos. O valor calculado para a energia de ativação da reação foi de 52 kJ, na faixa de 350 a 400°C, sugerindo a reação química como a etapa controladora do processo, e de 12 kJ, na faixa de 400 a 550°C, caso em que a difusão do gás reagente (condições fluidodinâmicas) poderia ser o mecanismo controlador. O efeito da percentagem de carbono, no intervalo de 17 a 30%, nas temperaturas de 350 e 500°C, revelou comportamentos distintos da reação, sugerindo a predominância, conforme o caso estudado, de fatores diferentes, tais como o contato sólido-sólido, atuando para aumentar a taxa de reação, e o excesso estequiométrico de carbono ou a dificuldade de penetração do gás reagente, concorrendo para diminuir a taxa de reação. A reação investigada caracterizou-se por ser aproximadamente de segunda ordem em relação ao cloro, à temperatura de 350°C, e, de primeira ordem, a 500°C.
The kinetics of the carbochlorination of pure vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) by the treatment of a powdered mixture of V2O5 and graphite with chlorine gas, was investigated, using the termogravimetric method, in the temperature range of 350°C to 550°C. The effect of chlorination temperature, amount of reducing agent (graphite) and partial pressure of chlorine gas on the reation kinetics was studied. Regarding the influence of temperature on the reaction kinetics, the shrinking-core or topochemical model was used to explain the experimental results obtained during this study. The activation energy of the reaction, in the temperature range of 350 to 400°C, was 52 kJ, suggesting the chemical reaction as the rate controlling step, and, in the temperature range of 400 to 550°C, was 11 kJ, as the diffusion of the reacting gas (fluid-dynamic conditions) seems to be the limiting step. The effect of the amount of graphite, in the range of 17 to 30%, at the temperatures of 350°C and 500°C, leads to distinct reaction behaviors, distinguishing the predominance of different factors according to the case studied, such as the contact between the reacting solids, which acts in order to increase the reaction rate, and the excess of carbon amount or the difficult of penetration of the reacting gas, acting towards a reduction of the reaction rate. The reaction occurred to be about second-order with respect to Cl2, at the temperature of 350°C, and first-order, at 500°C.
